ACLU sues feds to force Catholic charities to provide abortions for illegal immigrants
By Kellan Howell - The Washington Times A lawsuit filed this month by The American Civil Liberties Union could force Catholic charities to provide contraception and abortions for illegal immigrants in their care.
The ACLU is demanding government records detailing reproductive healthcare policies for immigrant children and teens in shelters operated by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The USCCB has been contracted by the federal government to care for the surge of unaccompanied minors crossing into the U.S.

the government shouldn't be in bed with a religion and shame on the religion for letting another 'god' tell them what to do or even to take up the mantle of said government.....

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Brigitte Amiri, a senior staff attorney at ACLU told The Times that group is concerned that by accepting federal money to care for immigrants and then denying them reproductive healthcare the USCCB may be in violation of the Constitutional separation of Church and state.
According to Ms. Amiri the government’s contract with USCCB requires the group to abide by a number of federal laws including a settlement agreement that requires children in the government’s custody to receive access to routine medical services, including family planning services.
ACLU has received complaints that USCCB has been denying reproductive healthcare services, such as abortions, for female immigrants, many of whom suffer sexual assault or rape during their journey to the U.S., Ms. Amiri said.
I love when the Right waves the Constitution around when it fits their purposes... But Runs from it when it conflicts with their Religious Indoctrination.

if I was the catholic church, I'd throw the illegals out and place them at the door step of the white house.
SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!!
The catholic church is 'suppose' to take their marching orders from their GOD......not the government!!

you actually believe it's ok for the government to get personally involved in your life for behavior management , hhhmmm sounds like church to me....
you believe the government knows what the minimum amount of ANYTHING should be for your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.....sounds like religion to me....

And many also don't follow the Catholic Church's abortion fetish.

The government couldn't handle it.
Furthermore, the Catholic Church would NEVER give up its essential mandate to feed, clothe, etc the poor.
Finally, the world would survive .. actually thrive .. without the ACLU and the extremist Left. The world could NOT survive without the Catholic Church. ---- The Catholic Church will be around long after the nations of the earth are no more.

if i were the catholic church, and the aclu was on my tail....i'd turn over the hungry, poor, sick to the CHURCH OF GOV ALMIGHTY. But let us not forget...that the catholic church has no one to blame but themselves the day they started accepting monies from GOV ALMIGHTY. Catholic Charities willing receives Caesar's GOV ALMIGHTY'S money.
So suggest to the Catholic Church, that they stop accepting ALL government funding.
